Seller's Description:
Good. This book attempts a study of the Bible from the point of view of a (legendary) literary critic. Northrup Frye has been practicing literary criticism for years with books on T.S. Eliot, William Blake, the criticism of criticism, and many essays and lectures concerning forms of literature, its structures and purposes. In The Great Code, Frye examines the continuing cultural importance of the Bible as the ''single most powerful influence in the imaginative tradition of Western art and literature. '' We could classify this touchstone of a book in art, in literature, in cultural criticism, philosophy and religion, and biblical studies. This is one of those books you see perpetually referenced, but never actually get around to reading. Well, now's the time! Frye's examination of literature and its influence, applied to Holy Scripture, is itself an intense work of art as criticism, discussing how our minds work, how literature works, how metaphor, imagery, revelation, narrative and rhetoric function in the Bible through history, through our lives. 372 pp. A new copy that suffered brief moisture contact, causing some rippling to covers and textblock. Text pristine.
